《Roommates》Part 2

"Wow! You've kept your room tidy I see" Steve said laughing. "Well, tidy room, tidy mind" I replied. I put my things down in the corner and then went and sat on my bed. I had painted and decorated my room myself. I liked doing things like that to keep my mind off of everything. Dad and Steve came and sat either side of me. I looked between them with worried eyes. "Okay guys, you are seriously worrying me". I tired to laugh the nervousness off but I couldn't. "Um y/n" Dad started. He reached for my hands and held them. I looked down at them. He'd never done that before. "I...well we...have to go away on a mission" Dad stuttered. "That's okay. Everyone else can look after me" I said looking at him. "The...the thing is...all of us are going. The whole gang" he added. What? Did he just say the whole of the Avengers were going? "Pardon?" I asked. "All of us in the tower are going" Steve said. I removed my hands from Dads and got up. "Um...that's okay. I know how to cook, clean and everything else so I should be fine". "That's the thing, you're not staying here" Dad said. My face dropped. "But Mum will still be here right?" I asked starting to panic a little inside. "No, she will be staying at Stark Industries" Steve said. "So where am I going then?" I asked. "You will be staying with Peter Parker". "PETER PARKER!" I shouted.
I didn't know much about Peter. Only that he was a nerd and on the academic decathlon team with me. Additionally, he was very secretive. I had never really spoken to him so why the hell was I going stay with him. "I don't know anything about him! Why him? Why not MJ?" I said getting angry. "We've known May for years and I trust her darling" Dad said standing up. "Who the fuck is May?" "LANGUAGE!" Dad shouted. "You are going to stay with May and Peter and that is final!" Dad angrily said. "I HATE YOU!" I shouted. I grabbed my things and stormed out of my room. Does he really expect me to stay with someone I don't even know that well?

"DID YOU ALL KNOW?" I shouted to everyone as I entered the kitchen. Thor, the god of thunder and son of Odin, Natasha, Wanda, Vision, Bruce and Bucky were eating their tea. No one responded. "Oh god, you did didn't you?" I cried. "Y/n, please, we were told not to tell you" Vision began. "So you're just going to let me go off and stay with a stranger then hm?" I asked them. "I'm sure going to miss your pancakes y/n" Thor said. I glared at him. "Not the time Thor" Wanda said glaring at him too. I continued out the door and went to walk out of the gate but Happy stopped me. "Happy, please let me go" I cried. "I'm sorry y/n, but your father has ordered me not to". "FOR FUCK SAKE!" I screamed while kicking the gate. I felt a metal arm around me. It was Bucky pulling me off. "When do you leave?" I asked him. "In two days". "Two days! And you are only telling me this now!". I'm never normally like this when a mission has been assigned but this was different. All of them were going and I was scared that they will not all come back. "Please don't go Buck" I cried into his chest after I had calmed down. "Please don't go".

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.

Random Road
Welcome to the Random Road! To walk the Random Road is to leave all common sense behind. Here, physics breaks down into bits as your form and perceptions are warped by every encounter. One moment you are an ant, travelling down the length of a leaf into the arms of an awaiting spider; the next, you are soaring through the sky on wings of wax into the eye of the sun. For many, the temptation to walk the road is overwhelming, even while knowing nothing of the prize awaiting at the end. Surely, for such a phantasmagorical thing, only the grandest of rewards should be at the summit, right? Take up the challenge of the Random Road to find out... If you dare.
